0.000 HBDSharing With You a Recent Charcoal Drawing
*Hi Steemians, sharing with you a recent portrait drawing commission. I used charcoal, pencil, 160gsm A3 paper, putty rubber and blending stump. I will share the process with you.*  #### I start with a quick sketch drawing in pencil of all the general vertical and horizontal contours in the model. I use a 4H pencil for very basic shapes and then as I add more details I use HB and 4B pencils.  ##### I then use a charcoal stick to go over all of the darkest areas in the model I am drawing from. Using charcoal is what will allow a greater range of tones for more realism and a greater over all effect.  #### I then use a blending stump to blend the tones with a smoother transition and a putty rubber or regular rubber to remove tones on the face adding more contrast. I also use the putty rubber to add highlights to the hair.  #### I make some final adjustments to make sure the proportions and values are correct before the finished piece.  #### Finished!  ### Thanks for checking out my post and supporting my work :) ### --Ian
